module Msf

###
#
# This module represents an abstract plugin that can be loaded into the
# context of a framework instance.  Plugins are meant to provide an easy way
# to augment the feature set of the framework by being able to load and unload
# them during the course of a framework's lifetime.  For instance, a plugin
# could be loaded to alter the default behavior of new sessions, such as by
# scripting meterpreter sessions that are created.  The possiblities are
# endless!
#
# All plugins must exist under the Msf::Plugin namespace.  Plugins are
# reference counted to allow them to be loaded more than once if they're a
# singleton.
